Translation:

The little bird in the wood with its yellow wings
Comes down every morning on the corner of my chimney
It tells me many things if I felt enclined to believe it
If you get married this year do not marry a widower
Because the heart of a widower is sad night and day
The heart of a young man is joyful and happy
Come with me young girl on board my ship
And we will be rich with gold and silver
My father and my mother would not be happy
If I went with you on board your ship
Your father and your mother will stay at home
And the two of us will go to England
